<?tbcolfmth>

Use this command to specify the horizontal alignment of text paragraphs in the columns of a table. These horizontal formats always override the defaults within the paragraph style and apply to all the paragraphs within the cell.

[no parameter]

Use paragraph's default properties

The "@" character is optional and only has relevance when pre-specifying column formats at the top of the table. It specifies that this column is the one whose properties should be repeated if required, for any columns whose format has not been actually specified.

The initial "+" character is optional and, if specified, ensures that multiple <?tbcolfmth> commands can be specified instead of a single one with multiple values. The "+" also indicates the presence of further details for the current column when specifying columns at the top of the table, rather than moving on to specify the next column in sequence.

code

-1 or “none”	Use paragraph's default properties
0, l, L, n or N	Left non justified
1, c, C, m or M	Centered / middle
2, r or R	Flush right
3, j or J	Justified to left

The full names of the positions can also be used instead of the letters, e.g. <?tbcolfmth=left> (for code 1)

Columns defaults can be overridden at individual cell level by applying a <?tbcfmth> command. It should be noted, however, that a row default specified by a <?tbrdef> will only come into play if a column default is "none" or "1".
